A nurse is assessing an adult male client who has a BMI of 20. The nurse should identify that the client's BMI falls within which of the following categories?

A.

A. Visible contusions on all four extremities may indicate physical abuse, especially in the context of being brought to the emergency department by a family member. Reporting the

incident to Adult Protective Services is essential to ensure the safety and well-being of the client.

B. Interviewing the client with his adult child present may not be appropriate if there are concerns about potential abuse or coercion.

C. Forcing the client to answer every assessment question may not be appropriate if the client is in distress or unable to communicate freely.

D. Advising the client to consult a social worker may be appropriate, but reporting suspected abuse to Adult Protective Services is the priority action in this situation.

A. Speaking directly into one of the client's ears may not effectively improve communication for someone with a hearing impairment, especially if the impairment is bilateral.

B. Rephrasing sentences the client does not understand can help improve comprehension by providing information in a different way.

C. Dropping voice volume at the end of sentences may make it difficult for the client to hear the end of the sentence, especially if they have a hearing impairment.

D. Exaggerating lip movements may not be helpful and can actually make lip-reading more difficult for some individuals.
